The Quake Medallion is an item featured in A Link to the Past. It is one of three Medallions that can be found in the game, and is one of two Medallions required to complete the game. The Medallion allows Link to do a jump strike in the ground, rumbling the entire screen. The Medallion is required to enter Turtle Rock.

To obtain the Quake Medallion, Link must first obtain the Book of Mudora. Next, he must venture to the Lake of Ill Omen. If Link throws something in the ring of rocks there, a Catfish living there will give Link the Quake Medallion to make Link go away.
